Well I’ve been back in Gosport for 6 days now and man are things boring, I had a walk round all the places I used to go as a kid and it’s amazing really how little has changed, there are a lot of memorys here for me but not a lot of good ones. Spent a lot of the last few days just watching DVD’s and now am pretty much fed up with that, feeling stir crazy being stuck here with no transport. I enjoy reading and need to get a couple of books to read for the long haul flights coming up, so can anyone suggest any? I had a look round a couple of book shops in London but couldn’t find anything that interested me, the last couple of books I really enjoyed were The Beach by Alex Garland and K-Pax by Gene Brewer.

Cool, thanks for that – I have read The Wasp factory, The Bridge and Walking on Glass. I might get a copy of The Crow Road for the flight to Hong Kong, it had some rather good reviews on Amazon. hmmm just realised I have a different Iain Banks in mind – I guess I will just have to see what is availible at WHS at Heathrow.
